Using the company’s own index rather than Bing APIs.
“Brave Search users can now search for images and videos without being redirected to Google or Bing, though some advanced search capabilities are still absent.”
It’s possible they’re currently doing AB testing and removing it for some folks and not others to see how much it’s used or if they can get away with not having a date range.
What is the reason for removing search functionality? Is it really just to make it harder to find what people want and potentially be served more ads? Hopefully site:whateverbutprobablyreddit.com never goes on the chopping block.

Logged in. Was using brave at the time but it doesn’t seem to matter which browser I’m on.

People will search for something, won’t see it below a bunch of ads, then go back and make a more specific search so they can be served more ads.
